what she had wanted.

  The camp was silent as we edged out of her canvas tent. The fire had subsided and the warmth that was once there drifted in the cool night time wind. I watched her swiftness, she moved with such a grace you couldnt help but stare. Her grace made me feel like a fool like i walked like a duck or a penguin. I slowly erked in front of her and led her out the woods. There shining in the moonlight  sat my black and sleek corvette. She gave me this daring look and her smile was quite tempting. I pressed the botton to unlock the car and then hopped into the drivers seat. She swiftly opened the passanger door and plopped down beside me. She blurted out directions, i put the key in the ignition and turned it fast. The sweet humb of the engine filled the car. I jerked the the car into drive and glided down the dirt road. I listened intently to her directions. At the last turn we were in a drive way headed towards an old house. "This is where i live... lived" sadness swept across her face as she spoke these words. She jabbed the key into the lock on the beaten door, she turned the key and instantly i could see into her life. Dust particles drifted in the air and the stale stench made it very obvious that no one had vacated this house for quite some time. As Auriella creeped into the house and turned to me i could see the pain lurking in her eyes.

 

   I suddenly wanted to know every thought that crossed her mind, every object that triggered her sadness and how i could keep her from her own sorrow. I wanted to be her knight in shining whatever. i wanted to be the one to protect her, know that she was safe. Many questions filled my mind, not just the center but the corners to. The more i thought i wanted to know her story her reasons for being the way she is. "tell me" was all i said and i pulled into my embrace. She broke free and next she sat thought, and said "as you wish"
